I am a 57 yo female, married, mother of two adult women and grandmother to a newborn boy just four days old (10/30/09). I have been on the weight loss/weight gain roller coaster so long, I can't remember if I ever had a normal relationship with food. I've tried all the diets. I am very overweight and would like to live to see my grandchild grow up. I struggle with emotional eating and depression. I am on Paxil for depression and have gained a tremendous amount of weight since I started taking it. I am not going to let this deter me from putting my full effort into trying to get healthy and fit.

My Goals:
I have a lot of weight to lose. My goals are going to be divided into 20 pound intervals so it's not so overwhelming. I also want to increase physical activity by adding cardio and core exercises most every day.

My Program:
I hope to follow SparkPeople's program because mine sure didn't work.
